By Cecie Stainer

b. about 1800 at Genoa; worked till about 1875. Pupil of Ceruti at Cremona, Guadagnini and Pressenda at Turin. Clever repairer of old instruments. Lived about five years at rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs in Paris, but having quarrelled with the violin makers there, he returned to Genoa, and finally settled in Nice, where he died. His instruments show excellent work, and bear comparison with those of good modern makers.
